Advantages of filing a direct objection with the municipality

It seems convenient to hire an agency to file an objection. But you can also easily file an objection yourself. If you need help with this, we will be happy to help you. Advantages of filing an objection via the municipality:

Fast handling and equal treatment: Every objection is carefully assessed according to the same rules. Because there is no agency in between, your objection is handled faster
Easy and free: You can submit your objection easily and free of charge online, by letter, or via the contact form. We are happy to help if you need assistance.
Lower costs for everyone: At no cure no pay-offices the municipality must pay extra costs. These costs are ultimately borne by all residents through municipal taxes
